Let's just step outside till they call us." Oh, I tell you that Friar Tuck was a sky-pilot for true! We sneaked stealthily to the door, passin' ol' Melisse on the way. She was huddled up on the floor prayin' in Spanish, an' Friar Tuck rested his hand on her head a second, an' then we went out into the night air I can taste my first breath of it yet.
I can go so long without reading certain poets, and after that I starve for them as the hungry starve for food. I was hungry for Chaucer. Such a request, coming from a youth almost in rags, impressed the sky-pilot so deeply that he insisted on giving me a job pumping the organ during services and a little room to sleep in at the mission.
"Yu are like that sky-pilot over to Las Cruces he preached agin killin' things, which is all right for him, who didn't have no cows." "Do you go to the missions?" She asked. He replied that he did, sometimes, but forgot to add that it was usually for the purpose of hilarity, for he regarded sky-pilots with humorous toleration.
We went into one of the worst places on the Bowery, the women being as anxious to go as the rest. The waiter piloted us to a small round table, and we sat down and called for some soda. I'd been there before to bring out a man or a woman or a girl as the case might be, and was pretty well known as "Sky-Pilot Dan."
Through all of us would go a stream of courage and happiness and a desire to stand right with the man as he was. "Hello! Sky-pilot!" We had only been about ten weeks in France when we were moved out of the trenches and placed in Ypres in billets. Some of us were actually billeted in the city itself, and others of us had a domicil in the environs.
"Neale, you're more than usually excited to-day," observed Hough. "Probably was the run of luck. And then you spouted to the women." Neale confessed his offer to Ruby and Larry, and then his own impulse. "Ruby called me a fool crazy a sky-pilot. Maybe I am." "Sky-pilot! Well, the little devil!" laughed Hough. "I'll gamble she called you that before you declared yourself." "Before, yes.
"Come, Gregory, it's time to close" a voice at my elbow. It was Breasted's assistant, a little, curious man who reminded me of my sky-pilot at Sydney. He, also, wore a black, long-tailed coat. He was known as "the perfessor." "You've been standing here as quiet as a crane for three hours." "How much do you want for this book?" "A quarter ... for you!"
Religion is goodness and justice and honesty; no man needs a sky-pilot to lay a course for him, for he alone knows where the channel, and the rocks, and the bar of his own heart are look into your hearts.
Particularly was this true of his special friend the "sky-pilot" or chaplain, that super-person who perhaps most often fell a victim to quarter-deck ebullitions. His zeal was unusual. In the matter of provisions, there can be little doubt that the sailor shared to the full the desire evinced by the surgeon of the Seahorse to take blood-vengeance upon someone on account of them.
You're beginning to realize the value of money and you don't like it. Well, you can unravel your own tangle. Don't come to me." The sight of her distress seemed to whet his appetite for cruelty. He rubbed salt into the open wounds with zest. "Get your sky-pilot to help you out of it. I won't. Not a penny do I pay. Seven thousand dollars!"
